The Toulouse School of Economics (TSE) is a school within Toulouse 1 University Capitole. In 2007, the French government and the Academy of Sciences chose TSE as one of 13 "Réseaux Thématiques de Recherche Avancée" (RTRA) across all fields, enabling the creation of a private foundation, the Jean-Jacques Laffont Foundation, which serves to foster world class research in economics and related social sciences at TSE.
In 2011, the Toulouse School of Economics was established as the department of economics within the University of Toulouse network. Its research department is also affiliated with the School for Advanced Studies in the Social Sciences and the École Polytechnique
According to REPEC, in March 2014 it was ranked as the 11th most productive research department of economics in the world, and the 3rd in Europe. Other rankings place TSE as one of the leading schools of economics in the world, all of them placing the School among the top 3 in Europe.
The chairman Professor Jean Tirole was awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics Sciences in 2014 for his analysis of market power and regulation.
Toulouse School of Economics is consistently ranked among the very best in Europe in rankings based on quality-weighted publications. For instance, the website Econphd [1] ranks TSE first in the world in information economics, and second in the world in industrial organisation. Many of the faculty members are fellows of the Econometric Society and the European Economic Association.TSE scholars have also received numerous national and international awards, including the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences and the CNRS Gold Medal, the highest scientific Honor in France (both Jean Tirole in 2007 and 2014), and the Yrjö Jahnsson Award, granted every two years to the best European economist under 45 (Jean-Jacques Laffont and Jean Tirole in 2003, Gilles Saint-Paul in 2007).
